Headline: UNCAPTIONED: FAA and Boeing Say Fuel Switches Safe After Deadly Air India Crash
Caption: FAA and Boeing Say Fuel Switches Safe After Deadly Air India Crash. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing have privately assured that fuel switch locks on Boeing aircraft, including the 787, are safe, despite concerns raised by last month's deadly Air India crash, which killed 260 people. A July 11 FAA notice, seen by Reuters, stated the switch design doesn't pose a safety risk requiring regulatory action. Boeing echoed this in a message to operators, advising no changes. India's crash investigation cited a 2018 FAA advisory urging inspections of fuel cutoff switches, which Air India had not conducted, since the directive was not mandatory. Pilots' union ALPA India is pushing back against any presumption of pilot error, demanding a transparent, fact-based inquiry. The investigation continues, with cockpit audio revealing confusion over why the fuel was cut just after takeoff. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
